Storyline
| Plot Summary |
When Catherine Terris's career in Hollywood hits the skids, she heads back to the site of her first great triumphs...Broadway. She takes the lead in a musical which is being directed by Rick Sommers, the man who was both her Svengali and her lover. Sommers is still bitter that she walked out on him to become the toast of Hollywood years earlier. Can Terris and Sommers put aside their mutual animosity long enough to make a go of this production. The way things start off, it doesn't seem likely. Written by Alfred Jingle |
